FOR THE LAST THIRTY YEARS WE HAVE HEARD ABOUT THE RECYCLING OF WASTE... WASTE IS USUALLY STRONGLY LINKED WITH POLLUTION AND TO OFTEN THE TERM WASTE IMPLIES THINGS WHICH HAVE BEEN USED INEFFICIENTLY OR INAPPROPRIATELY. SO HOW CAN WE MAKE THIS ABSTRACT CONCEPT A REALITY?

WE WERE SO SHOCKED ABOUT THE ENORMOUS OFFICE WASTE AND AMOUNT OF SHREDDED DOCUMENTS, THAT WE WANTED TO REACT TO THIS BY REUSING THOSE DOCUMENTS AND TO TRANSFORM THEM INTO A USEFUL OBJECT WITH A NEW DIGNITY.

ONE DAY PAPER WASTE IS A LITTLE CABINET. OBTAINED BY TAKING SHREDDED CONFIDENTIAL DOCUMENTS, MIXING THEM WITH RESIN AND COMPRESSING THEM INTO A STRONG MOLD... END RESULT: AN OBJECT THAT HAS THE STRENGTH OF WOOD RESEMBLING A FILING CABINET.
